Popular Nigerian stand up comedian, Alibaba, has shared his opinion on why many young men are not ready to get married.
comedian Alibaba,
In an Instagram post, the comedian said that a lot of Nigerian men do not have the financial capabilities for marriage.
Noting that a large number of ladies are taking their lives seriously,breaking grounds and achieving set goals, Alibaba said that when these women are ready to marry, they rarely find men of their age range on the same level with them.
He explained that when the women decide to pocket their achievement to accommodate the men, the men kick against it with frustration and ego.
Read what the comedian wrote below;
Many will not agree, but this needs to be said, look around a lot more young ladies are taking their lives more seriously,making ways in life and achieving goals and when it is time to settle down,the young ladies are way too eligible for young men in their age brackets that should be ready to marry them.
And when the young ladies decide to pocket the achievements and advantages they have, so they can submit to a man in that their age bracket, many of these men have been so beaten by the tides of life, that they are too busy fighting the wife they should work with.
Any attempt by the wife to suggest to him to get up and do something to succeed, is treated as disrespect, nagging, pressure and sometimes stress.
One guy was so broken by the frustration of not having made it since he graduated in 2010, and still without a job, that he wanted his Assistant Manager fiance, to move to his father’s house in Magodo, from the Oniru 2 bedroom, she presently occupied.
Why don’t you move in with her and make your great moves from there? “Never. I can’t marry and move into my wife’s house.” That is from a 32 year old guy, who still lives in his parents house.
Don’t get me wrong o. The economy is messed up. Our politicians have not done much to drag us out of the down turn. After elections, they start working toward the next election.
The problem has left many young men, not ready to be married. They are not prepared or do not have what it takes to be a man that can take a woman as wife. And not just as wife, to even be able to provide as the head of the house.
So the few men who are loaded and ready, are few and in very high demand. Many ladies can hurt any other lady who tries to take any rare find, of such a man. Especially if he has a house, good job, good car, looks good, dresses well and has very few defects.
So what’s the issue? The issue now, is that, even when these kind of young men, meet young ladies, who (by any reason) had a head start, the young men are too far behind, ill equipped and unprepared in the sourcing for opportunities and management of the relationship.
They are now slaves to ego, frustration, pride, peer pressure, poverty of mind and sometimes total disillusionment.
Look around. Don’t say I told you. Everywhere. There are many, who don’t know what to do, how to do it, where to do it, when to do it… Even with a Masters Degree in Bus Admin, LL.M, BA.Arch, B.Sc Statistics. Everywhere.
THIS IS THE REASON FOR “Still single”
